German brand set to add AMG-tweaked C-Class with 274kW twin-turbo V6.

Planned for introduction in 2015, the C450 AMG Sport has been conceived to bridge the gap between the C400 and upcoming C63 AMG.

Power hails from a tuned version of Mercedes-Benz?s M276 petrol engine. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 has been revised with added boost pressure and other detailed changes, taking its output from 245kW to 274kW, according to well placed Mercedes-Benz sources.

Although not a dedicated AMG model in the mould of the C63 AMG, the C450 AMG Sport has been developed with engine input from Mercedes-Benz?s performance car division and, unlike the upcoming rear wheel drive only C63 AMG, will be sold in both rear-wheel drive and optional 4Matic four-wheel drive guises.

Along with the upgraded engine, the new C-Class is said to use various chassis developments from the new C63 AMG.

The new model will be differentiated from other C-Class models by a standard AMG styling package and beefed up wheel and tyre package.
